Audi Mecup in full swing

THe Cartagena leg of the Audi Medcup, sailings equivalent to Formula 1 gets in full swing as the winds are kind off Cartagena. Following a windless morning the afternoon breeze kicked in and some great racing was had. Congratulations to the British TeamOrigen who picked up podium finishes, skippered by Olympic Hero Ben Ainslie I had high expectation for this team and so far they are showing lots of promise although a podium finish on the overall event looks unlikely at this stage. Hopefully the Team will be fully bonded and perform well in next years Regatta.

Torrential downpours and storms batter Spanish coastline

Following days of unsettled weather the heavens finally opened, torrential rain fell for a couple of hours and the sun baked land could not absorb the sheer volume of water. Dry river beds filled and flooded out to sea bringing with it tonnes of debris and detroying wildlfe habitats. It saddened us to come across a fox sitting on a 3 mile stretch of floating debris, unfortunately there was nothing we could do to save it and prevent the innevitable from happening in a few hours its raft would break up and without food and water things would deteriote quickly. Even after a few days, the water in Mazarron bay is only just returning to its usual cristal blue appearance.
